## Choose when

### Choose olmo-eval if…

- License: olmo-eval is Apache-2.0, code-review-graph is MIT.
- Tags unique to olmo-eval: evaluation, language models, mock-testing, reproducibility.
- olmo-eval ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

### Choose code-review-graph if…

- License: code-review-graph is MIT, olmo-eval is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to code-review-graph: ai-coding, claude, claude-code, code-review.

## When NOT to use olmo-eval

- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

## When NOT to use code-review-graph

- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
